M: Ellen, I’d like your opinion.
W: About what?
M: Well, Mary and I feel that with a baby coming we need to have our own place to live.
W: Oh.
M: Well, what do you think about Mary and me looking for a small house or an apartment at this point in our lives?
W: We love having you here, and there is room, and when the baby comes, the baby can stay in your room for a while.
M: Mary feels we need to find a small house.
W:[20]I remember when I was pregnant with Mary, Philip and I were living with Grandma and Grandpa. Philip was a young doctor, and he kept talking about having a house of our own. It’s natural.
M: What did you do?
W: We looked at a lot of houses.
M: Did you find one?
W: Oh, not at first. We couldn’t afford it. Grandpa wanted to lend us the money to buy one, but Philip is too independent. He didn’t want to borrow any money.
M: Sounds like Mary.
W: They’re all alike.[21]Mary is independent, and sometimes just stubborn.
M: When did you buy a house?
W: After Mary was born. I was teaching music, and Philip was opening his first medical office.
M: Where was the house?
W: Right here in Riverdate. Of course, it was a small house, but just right for us.
M: It’s funny. History repeats itself. Now Mary and I are having a baby, and we probably won’t be able to afford a house right away, either.
